…cry / laugh / bow…
“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,
the philosophy which does not laugh
and the greatness which does not bow before children.”
Kahlil Gibran
I am a (non paying) member of XING and their Humanistic Initiative. Laurie D. Lundquist is the (new) co-moderator of this group. Today Laurie send me this beautiful quote by Kahlil Gibran. Gibran played an important role in my family 21 years ago. Butmore about that: (maybe) another time….
Thanks Laurie, you made my day! (my evening to be honest).
“Verschone mich mit Weisheit, die nie weint,
Philosophie, die nie lacht,
und Grösse, unfähig vor Kindern sich zu verneigen.”
